People Got to Be Free - Melanie

All the world over, so easy to see

People everywhere just wanna be free

Listen, please listen, that’s the way it should be

Peace in the valley, people got to be free

You should see, what a lovely, lovely world this would be

If everyone learned to live together

It seems to me such an easy, easy thing this would be

Why can’t you and me learn to love one another

All the world over, so easy to see

People everywhere just wanna be free

I can’t understand it, so simple to me

People everywhere just got to be free

Ah, ah, yeah.

.. ah, ah, yeah

If there’s a man who is down and needs a helping hand

All it takes is you to understand and to see him through

Seems to me, we got to solve it individually

And I’ll do unto you what you do to me

There’ll be shoutin' from the mountains on out to sea

(out to the sea)

No two ways about it, people have to be free

(they got to be free)

Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be

(ah-ha)

It’s a natural situation for a man to be free

Oh, what a feelin’s just come over me

Enough to move a mountain, make a blind man see

Everybody’s dancin', come on, let’s go see

Peace in the valley, now they want to be free
